if you look nationally at where obama has been bleeding support, not as much in ohio. not nearly as dramatic. you can definitely link that to the economy there, to the bailout there, and i can think it's a small example, the 1988 election. a sea of red on the electoral map. bush won coast to coast. there were three states in the upper midwest that went democratic. iowa, minnesota and wisconsin. it was because the farm account kmi had collapsed in the '80s. the economy was so much worse there that they wanted to take it out on the reagan administration so they turned on bush. so i see there's a potential there for kind of a flip of that. if the economy is strong, i could see it would explain why obama is doing better in ohio than nationally. >> steve carr knack key, thank you very joining us. do you feel like between now and the election it's one sprint? do you plan to take any time off? >> i haven't been so far, so why change now? >> steve, it's great to have you here. >>> it's a good bet you have not seen the most moving speech by a politician in the last 24 hours. ac
